Amherst town councilors, at their most recent meeting, discussed how they would like to be addressed by their colleagues. The discussion, which took place on Monday, January 8, occurred thanks to a previous rule change allowing councilors to state their preferred title.
"There's something to be said for distinguishing between the individual and the role," Councilor George Ryan said, according to the Daily Hampshire Gazette. "I would make a suggestion that, at least in this body, perhaps a bit of formality would be helpful in the long term."
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is warning licensed medical practitioners, hospitals, and clinics against what it calls "deceptive practices" concerning reversing chemical abortions.
The department is also threatening discipline for those who practice what it calls "in violation of good and accepted health care," which also refers to reversing chemical abortions.
